Yes, you can use black mustard seeds in a mayonnaise recipe. Black mustard seeds have a slightly stronger and more pungent flavor compared to yellow mustard seeds, which are commonly used in mayonnaise. Here's a basic recipe for mayonnaise using black mustard seeds:

Ingredients:

1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil (such as canola, grapeseed, or sunflower oil)

2 large egg yolks

1 teaspoon black mustard seeds, toasted and ground

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons (30 ml) white vinegar or lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a small saucepan over low heat, toast the black mustard seeds for a few minutes until they become fragrant and release their aromas. Remove from heat and let cool.

Grind the toasted black mustard seeds into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.

Combine the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and ground black mustard seeds in a medium bowl.

Slowly whisk in the vegetable oil, a little at a time, until the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify.

Once all the oil has been incorporated, add the white vinegar or lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Whisk until the mayonnaise is well combined and creamy.

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar or container and refrigerate.
